Installation Instructions

Requirements

Apache, v1.3.x

Apache is the worlds most widely used
web-server and included with all Linux distributions I know
of. The current source code, in case you want to compile it
yourself, can be retrieved from: http://www.apache.org/dist/

Linux-PAM 0.64+ (0.68 or higher is recommended)

If
your system does not include Linux-PAM by default, this module
is probably not what you want!

Compiling the source code

mod_auth_pam is as standard as it gets with respect to module
installation, so if you are familiar with installing and using
3rd party modules, you should have no trouble at all and can
use any of the supported installation methods. I
strongly recommend using the DSO method, as it is by
far the easiest way and will give you a working system in no
time. If you are looking for more information, the Apache
Group has written a very detailed
explanation of DSO modules.
